Tye Sheridan is only 21 years old and he’s already got the resume most actors only dream of. He’s starred opposite Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey and Nicholas Cage and he plays the beloved comic book character Cyclops in the current X-Men franchise.

Now, Tye is starring in Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated sci-fi blockbuster, Ready Player One. It’s set in a dystopian world where virtual reality is much more than entertainment.

We caught up with Tye ahead of the movie’s release to talk about some of the big names he’s shared the screen with, what it was like working with Spielberg and whether he actually understood the ‘80s references in the script.
